I’d love to see more non-white thriller and suspense writers in my inbox! #mswlPiggybacking - I want this (no CIA/FBI/investigative thrillers) with QPOC outside of suburbia, please and thank you! Also applies to horror!! #mswl

Literary Agent
Ugh, PLEASE give me a sapphic romance that feels like the song Feel Something by Bea Miller. #mswl

Literary Agent
I want a queer romance that feels like Crush Culture by Conan Gray. But with characters who are rough around the edges. I don’t like “sweet” or “nice” characters, I want ones with bite! #mswl

Literary Agent
The song drinking games by Silver Sphere is exactly the kind of vibe I want in queer friendships and queer romances in YA and queer Adult romance #mswl (Can y’all tell by now that I want to read stories about “misfit” friend groups????!??)

Literary Agent
I’d love a coming of age queer story that feels like the song Scrawny by Wallows #mswl

Literary Agent
I want an unraveling of a sapphic/queer relationship that feels like In My Head by Ariana Grande. #mswl (I’m sorry I made my previous story-like-song tweets inaccessible!)

I NEED a sapphic romance that feels like this song. #mswl pic.twitter.com/E4JjvjH0TGAdding a thread of songs I love that I would love to have in queer romances in my #mswl inbox:

I want a sapphic/queer romance like this, too. #MSWL

Literary Agent
No funny business, but I want more tattooed queer LIs, THANK YOU. Neck tata, knuckle tats, knee tats, lips tats, I’ll take an eyelid or two as well. I am DESPERATE. #mswl
Also, damn the Blindspot premise was *chef’s kiss.

Literary Agent
I ALWAYS forget to mention this, so thanks @samanthashnh for jogging the noggin!
I would LOVE women’s fiction featuring early 20s-early 20s womyn who are POC and queer POC! Particularly, black womyn. Something fresh & high-concept! #mswl

Literary Agent
I am DYING for a second chance romance in YA or Adult. Exes or distanced lovers who never quite fit right when they were first together, whatever the reason! I love being able to see an old relationship with opened eyes as the new one grows. #mswl

Going down a YA murder mystery rabbit-hole & I can’t help but wonder what a YA suspense from the killer’s perspective would read like, with readers totally unaware until the end. It would take a crazy level of plotting and imagination to pull it off & have it be a surprise. #MSWLWriters, if you write this, I’d love to get it in my queries! #mswl

Literary Agent
I just want a contemporary YA featuring queer, angsty alt kids, damn it! #mswl

Literary Agent
I want writing that feels like Tegan and Sara's album So Jealous. #mswl

Literary Agent
I just want a book like Netflix’s Marianne but actually queer. #MSWL I really only want to read horror with queer characters that’s fresh right now.

Literary Agent
Y’all know I love Horror. Do y’all know that the first movie I ever saw was Child’s Play? That I grew up on that series, and Nightmare on Elm St, and Friday The 13th?
I like my horror with comedy, scares, and a largely teen cast. W/genre bends like The Final Girls (2015) #mswl

Literary Agent
I just want to read something dark with a queer femme-leaning MC who doesn’t give much of a shit until she’s faced with her worst fear. Is that so much to ask?!?! #mswl

Literary Agent
As a queer person, I’ve never dated anybody without body hair. So, love to see more queer folks in books & film with armpit, leg, tummy, pubic hair etc, please! #mswl #generalwl
